The problem then is how can amillennialism claim on one hand that the binding of Satan is the victory of […]

The seismic waves began roughly 15 miles off the shores of Mayotte, a French island sandwiched between Africa and the northern tip of Madagascar.

Falsely accused during the great tribulation . . . with no recourse
A great degree of the Church will be summarily executed during the great tribulation for not giving their allegiance to the Antichrist. Jesus and Paul however, teach that not all believers will die, but there will be a remnant who will survive up to the parousia. Christians will also be falsely accused, many, Jesus teaches, […]

Recently, there have been radio programs discussing the referent to the apostle Paul’s mention of a “restrainer.” What is baffling is that these programs have completely ignored Colin Nicholl’s research on the evidence of Michael being the Restrainer. Scholars in the last ten years who have been writing commentaries and other monographs have of course […]
